Maclaren Quest Stroller Review

I have a love/hate relationship with all my strollers.  It seems that for every pro, there is a con.  I've yet to find the stroller that fulfills all my needs but the Maclaren Quest comes pretty close.  The good and bad:

-Truly a one-handed push, this this is so easy to steer.  It glides through stores.

-Compact, good for travel, easy to fold/unfold quickly.

-Has a window in the sunshade to peak at your little one.

-Very small basket, hard to access.  Nothing extra like a cupholder or snack tray - but hey, it's an umbrella stroller.

-My #1 gripe when I use this stroller is that if you have a bag hanging off the back of it and you take your baby out the stroller will fall over.  Doesn't matter how many times I do it, I always forget.  And speaking of other things I forget, do not fold this stroller without collapsing the sunshade!  Take it from someone who just spent $40 on a replacement sunshade.

-My #2 gripe is the sunshade is useless.  We bought a 3rd party sunshade to strap over the the top of it.  It's ugly but functional.  I see people outside with their Quests quite often and they have usually purchased the same ugly sunshade.

-Small plastic wheels are not made for outdoors or even rough sidewalk.  This stroller is perfect for the mall.

-Overall this is a quality product and it's a great little stroller to have in the trunk of your car.  For the size I'm betting it's the best you can get.  If you want more features you'll just have to buy a bigger stroller.
